Jake

Erika let Kim have her room for now, until we figure out a place for her to stay. Erika would be sleeping in my room with me.

She got into the bed with me wearing an oversized Jerika t-shirt. I snuggled up against her and kissed her cheek.

"Have you decided what you're gonna do about Kimberly yet?" She asked me.

I sighed. "Yeah... I have."

"What are you gonna do?"

I was scared to tell her this because I was worried about her reaction.

"I want to become her legal guardian." I answered.

Her jaw dropped and she sat straight up, raising her voice. "Her legal guardian?! Jake, you haven't even known her for twenty-four hours!"

"So? I feel a connection with her! I don't wanna just have her stay here for a couple days and send her to a foster home or something! I wanna help her! I wanna get her into the modeling industry or something!"

She kissed her teeth. "I cant deal with this right now. You haven't even talked to anyone about it and you're considering it?!"

"I am talking to someone! I'm talking to you!" I shouted.

"Don't raise your voice at me Jake Paul!" She snapped.

"Well you raised yours first!" I shot back.

"You know what? I'm done." She said, obviously exasperated.

She got out of the bed and opened my bedroom door, then slammed it shut behind her.

I scrambled out of the bed and opened the door, rushing after her. Everyone came out of their rooms and Kim was looking up at us from the bottom of the staircase.

"What's going on?" Anthony asked.

"Nothing. Go back in your room." Erika snapped, rushing down the stairs.

"Erika!" I called after her. "We need to talk about this!"

"No we don't!" She yelled back up at me.

I ran down the stairs and everyone followed behind me.

Kim looked at me with a worried look on her face. "Were you guys arguing about me?"

I pursed my lips and pulled her into a hug. "We were... but it's not your fault."

"What's this about?" Tessa asked.

Erika emerged from her room with her robe on and shoved something into her pocket.

Ignoring Tessa's question, I asked her about it. "What did you just put in your pocket?"

"Nothing just leave me alone!" She snapped. "You've got the whole fucking house involved now." She looked at Kim. "I'm sorry you have to see me like this. None of it is your fault okay?"

She kissed her forehead and walked out the front door. I ran after her.

"Erika! Where the hell are you going and what's in your hand?!"

"Leave me alone Jake!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Why are you getting so mad about this?! You don't have to be this upset, you're overreacting!"

She slapped me in my face and I grabbed her wrist, snatching the object out of her hand. I looked at it and gasped. It was an open box of cigarettes.
